Hyperliquid has begun supporting outcome markets tied to offchain events as part of its HIP-4 upgrade, allowing validators to deploy and settle such prediction markets.
In announcements posted on Telegram and Discord, Hyperliquid said that such outcome markets will be published by automated newsfeed software that validators run as part of their regular chain operations.
"Validators vote on deployment and settlement of canonical markets based on a variety of factors, including unambiguous rules, correctness, and subjective quality of the market," the team said.
The mechanism is designed to embed prediction markets into Hyperliquid's core protocol infrastructure by enabling validators to determine the creation and resolution of markets tied to real-world events. The measure aims to reduce reliance on external oracle systems.
